As of now, Microsoft hasn’t officially announced the launch date as it has been only a year since the launch of its original product. However, it’s definitely clear that the successor is in progress. It is anticipated that it will be released along with Surface Pro 5, Surface Phone, and a Surface all-in-one PC.

The above tech products are expected by the firm as the Microsoft’s second Redstone update (RS2). It will come out on the anniversary of this summer.

It would be more beneficial to users if the company releases the upcoming device with the all new Intel’s next generation Kaby Lake processors. This 14-nanometer microprocessor architecture is expected to go for high volume production at the end of 2016.

The processors will offer USB 3.1 Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 support along with the regular four cores’ configuration and improved CPU / GPU performance.
